EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of natural colored cotton stays from the 1780s, stiffened with whalebone. The stays, which were used as undergarments during the Georgian era, are beautifully crafted and provide a glimpse into the fashion trends of that time. The unknown artist who created these exquisite pieces paid great attention to detail, highlighting both the functionality and elegance of these garments. The use of whalebone for stiffening demonstrates the ingenuity and resourcefulness of fashion designers in this period. Displayed at the eFashion Museum Bath as part of their exhibition "A History of Fashion in 100 Objects" these stays serve as a reminder of how clothing has evolved over centuries. They offer insight into not only the construction techniques but also societal norms and ideals surrounding beauty and femininity during this era. The mannequin on which they are displayed adds an element of realism to this photograph print, allowing viewers to imagine how they would have been worn by women in the past. This image is a testament to both artistry and craftsmanship, reminding us that even undergarments can be works of art. With its rich historical context and visual appeal, this print serves as a fascinating window into an era when corsets were essential elements in women's wardrobes.
